New install; unable to open database file?

[AnthonyWC]

I recently installed ara via pip on another machine (Ubuntu 16.04)

As part of that install process, should it install a .ara directory under home? I have a .ara under home in my other machine with ara installed but I didn't see it created here.

I also got an error w/ sqlite3 error after a play execution w/ the following error:

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file

#sqlite3                                  
SQLite version 3.11.0 2016-02-15 17:29:24
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> .database
seq  name             file                                                      
---  ---------------  ----------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that it said "transient in-memory database" which seems odd. Are there some steps that I am missing in regards to sqlite3; tried to find it in documentation but not having much luck.
